Did I overfill

I've been chaging oil every 5k in the D3. With the top mounted oil filter its actually an easy clean job to do. Only bugger is removing the engine undertray, but you can get under and do this with the car in off road height without jacks or stands.

I usually put 5.5L in then start, stop and let it settle for 5 mins. As long is on the top half of the dipstick I leave it as is, it burns nothing over 5k.

The best thing I ever bought was an oil suction "tank". Not used on the Disco, but the mercedes with the oil filter at the top of the engine means that I can change the oil and filter in about half an hour, very clean also.
